    Re: Is there a test server?
    Board » Technical Support
    bc, Try this.... on the home page it has a countdown to the start of the next race.
    For example if it says 6 hours to go, set your DC to start the race in 5.5 hours,
    So set it for 30 mins before what ever it says.

    OR, When setting DC use the clock on the instrument panel.
    You don't have to convert any time then.
    Remember if the race starts at 10.00 utc you don't try and convert it so your DC goes off at 10.00 your time.

    If you go inside a mark, you have to go back the way you came and round the mark in the correct direction.In your case you would have had to jump the spit again in order to round the mark.

    Sorry I get you now...What your saying is that the start time and last registration time should be in the NOR. And not be changed if favourable winds are coming later in the week!!!
    Yes i would definilty agree with that!!

    I always thought that timed races didn't have any practice sailing. When the race opens its game on. ( I might be wrong though)
    I do agree though that no changes should be made to start times, and also the time the server is to close should be stated before start time and definitly not changed!!!!!!!!

    Leg 1 Would have closed to make room on the server for other races. Your ranking will be what it was when the race closed.

    Is there any reason why the tall ships race can't start on Saturday morning to at least have a chance of finishing it in the weekend?

    Just looking at the St Nazaire race. The L'Iles-d'Yeu mark could be moved to the south east of the island and the lle d'houat mark to the north west. They look very inviting to do the old touch and go roundings! Or has that been fixed now?

Africa by Sea - Tangier to Abidjan


Whatever about pharaoh Necho II’s Phoenician expedition of the 7th C BCE, the Carthaginian Hanno the Navigator with more certainty sailed south from Tangier to explore the West African coast two centuries later, but how far he got is a matter of more conjecture. However, if he did the 2300nm to today’s Ivory Coast he would have found little there other than good shelter in the vast lagoons behind the dunes, much the same as today, excepting the highly industrialized port of Abidjan. Not a great haven for a stop-over but let’s take the 90ft Monohull anyway.

Azores Challenge 2025


Another almost forgotten race at SOL. For only the second time we will sail the Jester Azores Challenge route from 2016.
What is the Jester Challenge?
Every two years a group of singlehanded sailors heads for Plymouth to sail the Atlantic. The Jester Challenge is not a race in any way, shape or form, simply an opportunity for skippers to test their boats and their seagoing mettle in a supportive and non-competitive environment. Skippers can make stopovers in other ports or harbours if they so desire, and there is no stigma attached to retiring from the event. Each sailor takes full responsibility for him or herself, their boat and the equipment they carry. There are no entry fees and virtually no rules, although there are guidelines.
Our rules are a bit different and we have a 60ft trimaran at our disposal and we have 1200nm to cover. Let's see what our yachts and their skippers can do. We wonder what you will take on board?

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
